In one of the blogs we see the sounds 'wo' and 'hu' added to man as rightful names as if this could magically change man, male being, to include an "opposite", to wit, a not-male 'man'.
The 3 names carrying the name man made things appear to be "the way it is." The names containing the name man appear to give coherence; the belief that the sexes were both 'men' was easy to impose. As 'both men' it was easy to believe this to be truth and then go on to believe that this belief was therefore, also knowledge.
The repetition of 'man' in all the names created belief in "man."
Moreover there is one more item in this group of names that works effectively in "adding evidence" that the genders are both men.
Long before patriarchy became entrenched as the power of elite males entitled to grasp power for themselves in slavery and feudalism in the world
3 the other gender had called herself feme.
A poet in the 13th century was writing a poem when a line in his couplet ended with male. Rhyme being almost absolutely necessary at this time, he saw that 'feme' did not rhyme in his next line. So he changed feme to fe +male. To this day we believe the feme gender and feme sex to be 'female'! The absence of the knowledge of this cheating and deception helps belief in 'man.' Absent information is sometimes as important as the information given.
The belief today is that the species consists of 2 men of opposite sexes, man, male and wo +man, fe +male (but not male), both also hu +man.
